November is military family appreciation month. During this month, families with members of the military, past and present, are honored and recognized for their commitment and contributions in support of our military and nation. November 11th is Veteran’s Day. Thank a member of the military for serving this country. It is important for them to hear your appreciation, but most of all, it’s respectful.
With the holiday season upon us, we should be thankful for the time that we have to spend with our family and friends. There are families that are separated because a member is away serving our country in the military or worse, they have sacrificed their life for our country. In reality, freedom is not free. It is important to reflect that these families have a difficult time coping with their situation. We should be thankful for those who make sacrifices and also for our families, friends, and the opportunities we have in this country.

What would you think if I said my Health Insurance Lady has your back? Let me introduce you to Christine Calvert. In the Medicare Health Insurance world agents are not allowed to say certain things. But I can say them. My Medicare Insurance Lady has my back. I trust her completely with my Health Insurance needs and she will do the same thing for you. Just call her and ask for a free consultation. She will give you an honest answer. Two years ago she told me to stay with my current insurance company and she was not my agent, she said call me if you need question answered about coverage, I did. This year I asked her and she has come up with something better. My wife and I went to her office and she explained our increased benefits and decreased cost, we are going back to sign next week. Your Medicare health insurance is very important. It won’t cost you anything to look, listen and ask questions. It could save you a lot of money. I endorse very few people but this Lady is at the top of my list. The Medicare Open Enrollment period is NOW until December 7th. I suggest you call Christine now time is running short 352-572-8510.

After listening to everyone’s speech we had a couple of breaks, then the Water Oak Residents were invited to come in for the last hour. It was a good show! Don’t miss next year.
Lake County sheriff’s detectives are investigating an incident that left two people dead from apparent gunshot wounds last night (August 25) in the northeast part of Lake County. The incident occurred at 45918 Pennsylvania Road in Altoona at approximately 9 p.m.
Deputies responded to the residence after receiving a report of two people at the home being shot. Upon arrival, two male victims were found deceased. The deceased victims have been identified as 34-year-old David Thomas Mikell of Umatilla and 41-year-old Shane Eugene Clements of Altoona.
Detectives have developed leads and are following up on the information. The shooting was not a random act and the two persons of interest do not reside at the residence.
The investigation is active; therefore, no further information is being released at this time. Further details will be provided once they become available.
A 16-year-old male student from Lake Hills Academy in Mascotte was arrested today for having a handgun on a Lake County school bus this morning. The school’s administration was notified after another student on the bus saw the student with the gun. By that time, the bus had already departed from the school.
Deputies had reason to believe that the gun was left on the bus and not brought into the school. They quickly began investigating the claim and responded to the bus parking lot located on Golf Links Avenue in Eustis. Upon searching the bus, a Glock handgun was located on the back seat, concealed in a sweatshirt. The gun was holstered and unloaded; no ammunition was found.
Deputies continued investigating and were able to review footage from the bus’s security camera, which showed 16-year-old Trace James Richardson removing his sweatshirt and leaving it in that same seat.
ased upon witness statements and the video evidence, Richardson was arrested and charged with possessing a firearm on school property. He will be detained by the Division of Juvenile Justice.
Lake Hills Academy is an alternative school located at 513 Albrook Street in Mascotte.
